Silver Streak gearbox.

Post by ianw1 »

Sorry to be asking so many questions!
I read in the instruction book which I down loaded that you inject grease into the gearbox. So the gearbox doesn't run any oil, just grease?

Correct, you may also see a note about adding a little oil to loosen it up a bit. That was when the bike was in daily use. If only used for short runs in fair weather days, it will be a bit stiff, so may need that small amount of oil to wake it up. It will of cause weep a bit of oil when warmed up.

There was someone before me and there'll be someone after me. As long as there's someone to run clubs like ours.
